Excellent sketching Fiona.

Ooh my Fiona it’s an absolute beauty, sketched with so much skill , it has everything in there telling the story of a busy docks . Love every bit of it , honestly it’s one of the best you have done for a while and you produce some excellent work.

It's very good Fiona and very interesting

An excellent sketch, Fiona, love it.

Hmm… this is very appealing to me! Spritsail barges and dockside cranes, what more could one want? Superb is the word here…

Nice one Fiona, different for you.

I commented a while ago - not here! Could I have forgotten to press the button? Well, I’ll say it again - an excellent sketch Fiona. Enjoyable to something a bit different too.

Really like this one.!

Love it Fiona, super drawing.

What a grand big working scene Fiona, and your style of drawing here fits the bill appropriately.

A big thank you for your lovely, positive and encouraging feedback, I was a bit nervous of posting it. Especially as a certain Mr. Dean and Mr. Bickley excel at this particular subject. X

Great picture. Boats,harbours sea scapes ....my favorite subjects to draw.

Fabulous detail - beautiful painted Fiona.

A lovely sketch, Fiona.

Love a good industrial scene. Some nice textures here too.

A subject not for the faint hearted Fiona, very good effort

A bit different for you Fiona but really well drawn

Really well done Fiona.

Mick, Shaun, Russell, Bob, Andrew, Frank, Martin, David…..thank you all very much for your positive comments, especially on a very different subject for me.

Love this Fiona, you've also captured an air of sadness about the scene - I don't know if that was deliberate!?

Thank you very much Trevor, glad you like it. I didn’t deliberately set out to give it an air of sadness but I do feel a sense of loss from these days and times.

Works well with great sense of depth Fiona.

Many thanks John and Sandra for your very kind comments.

Wow Fiona! This is really impressive!

The grey and sepia really set the mood - love it!

An excellent sketch Fiona, you have achieved lovely detail especially in the cranes and the boat is great. I love the highlights too.

Diane, John, Karen……thank you for you smashing comments, very much appreciated.

Thank you very much Dmitry.

Cheryl, thank you!

What beautiful detailing! You have such a talent for capturing structures in this way. It is very atmospheric too!

Paula, thank you so much for your very kind comment.

Strathmore grey paper and conte sepia & white pencils. Based on a lovely old, sepia photo from a tv still of Tilbury docks. I’ve left much of the original dockside ‘stuff’ out and concentrated on one area. It’s a bit stiff looking but enjoyed doing it. Unable to credit the original photographer.
